When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use in high-pressure industrial steam systems or applications involving aggressive chemicals that may degrade the chrome plating or internal seals. It is also not compatible with piping systems that do not utilize standard 3/8-inch threaded connections.

How to use

To install the BENKISER elbow, ensure that the pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Apply appropriate plumbing tape or thread sealant to the male threads of your pipes to ensure a watertight connection. Screw the elbow onto the pipe ends by hand until firm, then use a suitable wrench to tighten the fitting carefully, ensuring not to overtighten, which could damage the threads or the chrome finish. Once installed, turn on the water supply gradually to check for any signs of leakage at the connection points.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing piping system utilizes 3/8-inch threaded connections
• Ensure the installation space allows for a 90-degree turn
• Check if additional thread sealant or plumbing tape is required for your specific setup

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection for signs of moisture or corrosion, especially in high-humidity environments, to maintain the integrity of the plumbing system.
